Spacers are on the shelf and no problem I have just placed an order for a selection of wheels, we'll see how they go as people buy them we'll get our own photos so we can be sure! 245/35 and 275/35 is the size most have had, not 235/275 265s are fine on a 10, it's the correct size for the tyre. They will fit on a few sizes, but it's certainly not a stretch or bulge. At the moment just a little imagination I think is the way forwards with the different offsets. They're measured in mm, so 12 offset puts the wheel 12mm further into the car than 0 offset

22s if you want fat tyres are the easiest option. If you dont mind sticking with 225 or 235 front and 255/265 rear I'd think the 12s should be fine. It will depend on how low you are and what camber you are running of course...

+12 arch work will depend on which tyre sizes you run. We have put plenty of +12 wheels on 350Zs without arch work, but there is a fashion for enormous tyres that does make it a little more tricky

All wheels are available for delivery within a week roughly from order to delivery.

Powder Coating silver is approx. £150 for the set

They're Steel

Some people dislike them because they look similar to JDM wheels, that generally the reason for the hate. Thing is they're not identical, just similar, unlike the various replica wheels you can get. Rotas do not pretend to be anything they're not Equally, for me personally it's a no-brainer. Rota Torques actually weigh less than the same sizes Work Emotion Kai... I know this as we have both here and weighed them side by side. Why would you buy the expensive one? It's all about badge... Badge appeal makes me chuckle, when I have somebody with a Honda Civic slating out products, but drive a car that's certainly no BMW or Mercedes, but act like it's a personal insult to put a Rota on their premium super Civic I think I am going to get some of these, but with a JDM Tyte Yo badge

Show me some evidence so I can refute it... I do not know of a single case of a wheel failing without a very good reason, such as a significant crash. Recently Driftworks has a bit of a coming together of both of their cars at speed... They wished the wheels weren't so tough, they're fine, but the subframe is now bent and some bodywork needed

So many things are possible to damage a wheel. Low tyre pressure and hitting a speed bump hard wont do them favours. Most catastrophic failures are due to crashes, not really the wheel's fault. The thing is you get a picture of the wheel posted, and a rant about their broken wheel, but no mention of the owner running out of talent at 60 and flattening a lamp post... My personal favourite was a customer here, got his wife to call and claim her husband had a small off, and wanted a wheel replaced under warranty. It later transpired when we found the post and pics on the forum the wheel was indeed damaged, but still attached and the tyre still inflated, but the wheel was a good 450mm further back towards the passenger seat than Subaru had intended The thing is if they'd just have come clean we'd have felt sorry for them and probably helped out with much more of a deal than if we found people trying to pull a fast one... that sort of things tends to effect how generous we feel I would also like to add I am not aiming this at the OP or anybody else, just telling tales and explaining how things work

This is not Rota specific, this is all alloy wheels, but especially light ones. Some powder coaters use extreme temperatures for extended periods, this ages the alloy and negatively effects the strength properties required for it to be a useful wheel

I thought this album might cheer you up though http://s1005.photobucket.com/albums/af1 ... YS%20WORK/

We have now been contacted direct We'll get it sorted one way or another. Wheels do not crack for no reason, especially seriously enough to let air out! We hope to get the wheel back here and investigate. If a material defect is present we'll replace it under warranty, if it's been hit while there's a flat tyre or something I am still confident we can come to an arrangement everybody will be happy with If it's a crack that's happened by itself with no impact damage it'll be a first

I am sure we can get enough people together to make 15% work. 10 people is not set in stone... it's just a ballpark to make it all possible

Realistically 5 people is 10%, 10 people is 15%, I might be able to improve a little on that, and will do my best

what sort of discount do you need? More seriously it will be dependant on numbers interested and exchange rates at the time, but it should be enough to make them seriously tempting

I can do a special group buy price... First I need a meaningful show of hands I'll do a discount if we can get 5 people together who fancy them

Still expected, another batch have literally just been made
